Chapter 205 Sighing Personnel, Disaster Life
I haven't seen him for a few days, but He Yu's face is thinner, less flashy and lazy, more energetic and capable. Obviously, business training has washed away his former immatureness in these months.
"Brother!"
When he saw Yang Yanzhao, a happy smile appeared on his fat face, and he hurriedly trotted forward. It looked like the original college, full of enthusiasm and innocence.
A strong bear hug, the two looked at each other and laughed. Later, Yang Yanzhao patted him on the thick shoulder, "Today, you are much more mature."
"I haven't seen my brother for many days. I miss him very much. After hearing the chaos in Fujian from the city, I came non-stop."
With that, He Yu smiled naively, "It's better to do things by my brother's side, otherwise there will be something, and there will be no one to discuss."
The two said a few words again. Yang Yanzhao wanted to lead He Yu into the house, but the latter smiled and pointed to the dozens of big cars behind him. "Brother, I brought some money when I came. I thought that Fujian was not peaceful all the way, but I didn't expect it to be unusually smooth. This is all good for my brother!"
After hammering at He Yu's chest a few times, Yang Yanzhao smiled and said, "You guys, just be sweet to outsiders. You are still so oily to me."
Let Xiao Muchun and others help lift the boxes in the carriage, which are full of silver. I'm afraid it's more than 10,000 taels. Seeing this, Yang Yanzhao couldn't help looking at He Yu carefully. With a few drivers alone, he dared to carry so much silver and have been doing business for a year, and he was much bolder.
Perceiving the meaning in Yang Yanzhao's eyes, He Yu scratched his head with his white and fat hand, and then smiled awkwardly, "Didn't my brother once say that the art of war is virtual and unexpected. The younger brother also thought so. It happened that he was lucky on the road. He was very safe if he didn't meet robbers."
He sent people to send these to the exhaust room and poured a cup of cold boiled water and handed it to him. Yang Yanzhao's words were more reproached, "Today, since I asked you to come here for my brother, there is naturally this money. Why do you take the trouble to carry it? If you meet a bad guy who is willing to make money, what should you let me be my brother?"
He took the tea and drank it all in one breath. He Yu went straight forward and drank another cup. Then he wiped his mouth casually with his cuffs. "My brother is now a parent and official. It's inconvenient for everything. It's better to prepare some of these yellow and white things. Otherwise, won't the brother drive the younger brother back?"
After saying that, He Yu laughed loudly, but Yang Yanzhao did not look at him. He sat aside and drank tea. Later, he asked about Bianliang City.
Hearing the words, He Yu smiled and told the truth about what happened when Yang Yanzhao left Bianjing in the next two or three months. After listening to it, the latter couldn't help but meditate.
It turned out that a lot of things happened in just a few months.
Lv Meng was staying in Dali Temple for only two months and made great contributions to the case. After that, he was transferred to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the sixth grade became the fifth grade.
Although it has only been promoted to half a level, it is also a great gift for those who are new to the official career. Of course, Yang Yanzhao knows very well why the other party can be promoted so quickly.
Wu Xing, a disciple of the Buddhist sect, has become the most respected monk of Daxiangguo Temple. The believers continue all day long. On the day of the opening of the altar, it is even more shocking Bianliang City, and countless people flocking from all over the world.
The disciples of the two Confucian and Buddhist families have already shown their grand plans, and he is still nestled in this poor mountain and evil water. Yang Yanzhao can't help sighing a little.
But later, I felt that something was wrong, "Today, why don't you talk about Qiu Bai first?"
Hearing the words, He Yu's face was a little depressed, and his words became hesitant. "Brother, you ask me to tell me some rumors about Bianliang. I have a few things in my mind just now, so I can't hide it."
Seeing the dodge in his eyes, Yang Yanzhao couldn't help cooling his face, "Today, do you have something hidden from your brother?"
The cold eyes suddenly made He Yu feel that his scalp was numb and he flinked for a long time. Then he said quietly, "Brother, since you left, the younger brother has only been in touch with Brother Qiu Bai and Brother Yuan Pei. The rest of the people have not seen it for some days."
He sighed again. After He Yu finished the rest of his words, Yang Yanzhao couldn't help but feel full of disbelief, but in just a few months, how could the people who once slept together and drank and talk changed so much?
Xiang Minzhong is now very close to Zhao Tingmei, the king of Qin, while Wen Zhongshu and Han Guo Hua are devoted to Zhao Pu, who has been highly respected before. Only Zhang Qian and Li Zhi have no family to rely on. They are buried as officials in the high-door deep government office in Bianliang City.
He put down the herbal tea leaning against his mouth. Yang Yanzhao was stared for a long time before he came to his senses. There was some sadness in his words. "This officialdom is like a jar of dyeing cloth, changing people's color, and it is no longer the original temperament."
He Yu nodded silently, and his eyes were full of complexity.
On the eve of sunset, the women of the Luo family returned to the house. The old people met each other and had a lot of excitement. But when Chai Qingyun walked in, He Yu, who was smiling very happily, suddenly showed surprise and bowed to the green pearl beside her and said respectfully, "Big boss, why are you here too?"
Big boss?
This name made the rest of the people confused and looked over. The green bead hiding behind Chai Qingyun had to show her face and nodded slightly to He Yu awkwardly.
"Lan Guizhai was actually opened by me on a whim, but later I met Liulang and had the help of Brother Fang, so it became bigger and bigger."
Chai Qingyun said gently, which was exactly the solution to Yang Yanzhao's doubts. Once, he guessed that there was a government behind Lan Guizhai, but he did not expect that it was Chai Qingyun's brother and sister.
He coughed a few times and broke the quiet atmosphere. Yang Yanzhao waved his hand with a smile, "After so long, we are all our own people, and I'm still stunned. I have let Brother Xiao buy a lot of game at Lao Zhangtou's house. I open to eat tonight, which can be regarded as receiving the wind and washing the dust for this evening."
"It's delicious again. That's great!"
Ba Mei clapped her hands, shouted happily, and took the lead in following Yang Yanzhao to the living room. Behind her, Chai Qingyun flashed a trace of shyness in his eyebrows because of his own words, and his long sleeves covered the edge of joy.
"Sister Chai, let's go together."
In his ear was the soft call of Luo's woman. Chai Qingyun hurriedly answered. The two women were together and talked and laughed softly from time to time, which made He Yu, who fell a few steps behind, raise his head from time to time. After being surprised, he looked at Yang Yanzhao, who supported Ba Mei and the wind in front of him, and his heart was full of admiration.
When eating, there was He Yu, and there was a lot of joy, and Bamei even quarreled with him. The situation was really happy, but it had not been encountered for a long time.
In a few days, dozens of carriages, led by several teams of guards, entered Xinghua City, but He Yu's goods arrived.
After decorating the sold shop, there was a sound of drums and firecrackers in Xinghua City, and the denoun of Jubao Pavilion in Fujian was officially established.
Since then, He Yu has been very busy. Yang Yanzhao has entrusted all the tasks of fine salt and purchasing rice grain to him. Naturally, there will be no complaints in Xinghua City, but He Yu has to run out all day long. While being a salt merchant recognized by the government, he earns money, he buys a lot of rice grain and will make money. The money has been paid out.
I've been busy for more than half a month, but I haven't entered a penny. Every time I see Yang Yanzhao, I can't help sighing, full of heartache, and I can't wait to drag all the money from the salt into my hand, and I can't leak half the money.
Yang Yanzhao can only laugh and say nothing about this. He Yu has worked really hard these days, but it is precisely because he took over the salt grain, and the operating efficiency has improved a lot compared with before.
It's the end of July again. The weather is extremely hot. The shallow river pond has been dried up. The soil at the bottom of the pond has cracked, and you can't see a drop of water.
The crops planted have already withered, leaving only a trace of green in the roots, and still standing tenaciously in the dry ridges.
The drought mentioned by the wind and dust has finally come.
Under the scorching sun, several horses stuck out their tongues and ran quickly, lifting layers of sand, and the wind raised by the horse's hoofs also carried scorching heat.
"Rokuro, you're back!"
He patted the dust on his body and walked into the house, but he saw Luo's daughter and Chai Qingyun greeted him. There was already well water in his hand.
Seeing that there were also thin beads of sweat on the forehead of the second woman, Yang Yanzhao wiped it casually and handed over the sweat towel. "It's hot this day. It's really unbearable. I can't wait to soak it in the well."
After drinking a mouthful of well water, I suddenly felt much cooler in my heart. Behind him, Xiao Muchun and others were also drinking. Chai Qingyun came forward with a handkerchief and wiped the water stains for him. "If it's hot this day, I'm afraid the well in the backyard will dry up, and then I can't even drink the well water. Liulang, how is it going outside when you go out this time?
Hearing this, Yang Yanzhao sighed, "Most of the states and counties have been affected by the drought. Now the climate is not the hottest. I think there is still some surplus food in the hands of the people. Later, I'm afraid I will starve. Fortunately, I have a lot of food. Otherwise, it will definitely be a great turmoil."
Chai Qingyun's beautiful eyebrows frowned and complained slightly, "What's wrong with the court? Liulang's fold has been submitted for a long time. Why hasn't this emergency thing been sent? Is it possible that I have to carry it in Xinghua City to bear it?"
With a sigh, Yang Yanzhao answered, "Yuer, this court also has its difficulties. At present, Xinghua City can still deal with it. I'm afraid it won't suffer the people."
This made Luo's daughter and others all sigh and prayed secretly in their hearts. Seeing that everyone's faces were solemn, Yang Yanzhao smiled slightly, "Don't be so bitter. Everyone has been busy for a long time for this drought. How can you not deal with it?"
After what he said, it was the same when several people thought about it, and their hearts suddenly relaxed a lot. Just as they walked in with Yang Yanzhao, they heard the sound of horseshoes coming.
"Your Excellency, a large number of mountain people suddenly came from outside the city, holding sharp blades. General Lin asked his subordinates to report to your excellency!"
